Embark on a cultural journey to the heart of Panama, where you'll have the opportunity to visit the local Emberá community.
Your adventure begins in Panama City, from where you'll travel to Puerto Corotú within the Chagres National Park. Here, you'll board a traditional canoe and sail across Lake Alajuela, followed by a hike through the dense jungle leading to a waterfall - an ideal spot for a refreshing swim, depending on the lake's level.
The highlight of your trip will be visiting the Parara Purú community. You'll learn about their traditions, arts, and dance rituals, as well as visit their school and museum. Enjoy a communal lunch with the villagers, and later, sway to the rhythm of their traditional instruments.
If you wish, you can bring gifts for the children or even get a non-permanent Emberá tattoo. There's also an opportunity to purchase hand-crafted souvenirs, a tangible reminder of this unforgettable cultural immersion.
